General
• Formula Solver: For handling multi stage variables
• Multi Decoder: Enter an unknown code and let several decoders and calculators interpret it in a row
• More than 200 sets of Symbol Tables: Direct decoding symbols to characters; save own encoding as an image
• Online Manual: Every tool has its own manual page

Cryptography & Encodings
• Alphabet Values (A = 1, B = 2, ...): Configurable alphabets with language specific special character handling
• Braille graphical decoder: Type the points into a graphical interface; supports different languages
• Book Cipher: Choose the correct system (e.g. Line + Letter Number or Section + Line + Word Number, ...), handle special characters and empty lines, ...
• Enigma: A full working Enigma simulator incl. numerous possible settings
• Esoteric Languages: Generators and interpretors for several esoteric programming languages like Brainf**k, Ook, Malbolge and Chef
• Morse
• Numeral Words: Lists of important numbers in different languages. For English + German there are parsers to identify even complex numeral words
• Substitution and Vigenère Code Breakers: Try to find the solution without knowing the keys
• Classic Codes: Playfair, Polybios, Railfence, ...

• Military codes: ADFGX, Cipher Wheel, Tapir, ...
• Technical encodings: BCD, CCITT, Hashes (incl. brute-force hash breaker), RSA, ...

Coordinates
• High precision coordinate algorithms which support precise calculations even with very long distances by always considering the earth's shape (ellipsoid)
• Support of different ellipsoids, even other planets
• Coordinate Formats: Support of UTM, MGRS, XYZ, SwissGrid, NAC, PlusCode, Geohash, ...
• Waypoint Projection: Includes precise reverse projection
• Open Map: Set own points and lines, measure paths, export as and import from GPX/KML; OpenStreetMap and satellite view
• Variable Coordinate: Interpolate coordinate formulas if some parts of coordinate are not given. Show result on map

### 5/5 — Unverzichtbar

*2025-10-14*

Nach einer kurzen aber intensiven Probezeit, habe ich diese Toolsammlung für mich als unverzichtbar eingestuft. Unmengen an Lösungsvarianten, ständige Erweiterungen und übersichtliche Funktionen, das ist beim lösen von Geocaches DIE App die ich immer gesucht habe.
Nervig ist alleine die immer wieder aufkommende Frage zum Texteinfügen aus dem Zwischenspeicher, aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau.
Bin sehr zufrieden damit!

### 5/5 — Prima Tool

*2025-03-16*

Ich nutze das Tool gerne und bei einer so klasse Arbeit ist auch der Kauf als Wertschätzung drin.
An die Sortierung muss ich mich noch gewöhnen.
Danke für die Arbeit.

### 5/5 — Unschlagbare Sammlung

Lieber Mark, einfach klasse. Vielen Dank! Langes1010

### 5/5 — Absolute Empfehlung

*2024-08-14*

Selten so eine umfangreiche und gute App gesehen! Hier spendiere ich gern einen Kaffee!

### 1/5 — RIP OFF!

*2023-06-03*

If you wanted a donation , make it clear ! I was under the impression I was purchasing a service . After I paid $9.99 I was informed you had a free version . I want a refund

### 5/5 — Ein wunderbar hilfreiches Tool

*2023-02-12*

Ich nutze diese Toolsammlung schon recht lange und sie hilft mir zuverlässig.
Die Bedienung ist nicht immer direkt so einfach zu verstehen, aber wenn man sich ein wenig damit beschäftigt fluppt es.
Ich bin froh so eine hilfreiche App für das Geocachen gefunden zu haben und habe sehr gerne die goldene Version bezahlt.

Weiter so!

### 5/5 — Geniale App
